I was happy as a little kid when I finally obtained this beatifull piece of wood, since I thought I'd mean that my Assasin would get incredibly powerfull.

But It seems a bit dissapointing to me that I cant backstab with the damn thing ... neither can I use it to go invisible and backstab with another weapon, since I go visible again once I switch weapons.

So two questions:
- SotM cant backstab .. but IIRC a certain ToB-staff *can* .. what gives ?
- Whats the use if I cant go invisible and backstab after that .. is it used solely to go invisible, run-away /hide in shadows / backstab etc. ?

The SotM can't be equipped by single-class Thieves without UAI. The SotR can.

* scolds Daan for forgetting the Backstabbing golden rule *

Are you *sure* you lose the invsibility when switching weapons?

Thank you and Alson, too. I thought it was Staff of Magi, without 'the' so I couldn't figure that out. Although I had some doubts that we were talking about The Staff. [img]smile.gif[/img] And no, I was not sarcastic. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Go visible, you mean.

Stop pointing out my stupidity, since that would take forever and start working on a solution

Anyone played a thief and used the SotM to go invisible for a backstab ?
Just knowing wether its normal or a bug might be all I need [img]smile.gif[/img]

AFAIK, unequiping the SotM nullifies your invisibility. That is what I observe anyway.
